TokyoQ's weekly news summary offers this tantalizing tidbit:

   East Japan
   Railways announced it will introduce a system to let people make a
   reservation using their cell phone and so pass through the ticket
   wicket without a ticket simply by letting their phone be scanned..
                                        (http://202.221.249.1/tokyoq/)

But www.jreast.co.jp, press releases included, doesn't even hint at
such a thing as far as I can see.  Any details or pointers?

Cheers,
